Congratulations to Sarah and the team for raising £280 for charity

A fundraising tombola organised by a team member at a Scarborough garden centre has raised £280 for our charity of the year, Yorkshire Children’s Charity.

Sarah Moore, retail assistant at Dean’s Garden Centre, Scarborough, organised the tombola to sell items donated by customers, team members and the garden centre to raise valuable funds to help transform childhoods and improve the lives of disadvantaged children in Yorkshire.

Sarah said: “Our festive tombola was very well received by staff and customers alike and I’m delighted that we raised so much money. Thanks to everyone who donated and supported us.”
We hope to raise £20,000 for Yorkshire Children’s Charity through a series of fund-raising events like the festive tombola and collection boxes at the tills at all of our centres. The charity was established in 2022 and aims to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, resulting in happier, healthier, and more independent children and young people.

The other members of the Yorkshire Garden Centres (YGC) family of destination garden centres with a compelling mixture of retail, food and play are Tong, Tingley, Otley and Bingley Garden Centres plus Dean’s in York.
